BGT Act Bleeds After Mousetrap & Weed Whacker Stunts
9 Apr
Summary
- Contestant stunned audience with mousetraps and nail-studded chair.
- A weed strimmer act left the performer with cuts and bleeding.
- Over 100 viewers complained to Ofcom about the dangerous audition.
An audition on Britain's Got Talent has sparked significant backlash, with over 100 complaints lodged with broadcasting watchdog Ofcom. The performer, Leroy Patterson from Los Angeles, subjected himself to a series of dangerous stunts as 'safety tips.'
Patterson first landed on a bed of mousetraps, causing them to attach to his stomach. He then sat on a chair covered in sharp nail strips. For his final act, he switched on a weed strimmer and ran through it, sustaining multiple cuts and bleeding.
Judges, including KSI, expressed shock, with Patterson himself humorously labelling his performance as 'stupidity.' Despite the graphic nature, Patterson's act received enough audience support to advance. Viewers on social media expressed strong disapproval, questioning the broadcast of such a violent performance during prime time.
